“The funding being provided by the FAA to enhance the infrastructure at Palm Springs International Airport is welcome news,” said Rep. Calvert. “As the primary airport serving the Coachella Valley, it’s critical that we continue to invest in the Palm Springs International Airport and provide robust air travel options for both residents and visitors.”
According to the FAA, the grant funds a project to rehabilitate 11,284 feet of the existing paved Taxiways A1 and W to maintain the structural integrity of the pavements and extend their useful lives.
